Well, all I can say is... It is nice to see a positive article. They didn't portray the automotive enthusiasts as drugged out idiots or psychopathic road warriors.:rolleyes:
Speaking of the negative views on auto enthusiasts... While waiting outside a restaurant for a table, I noticed a Yukon XL park and three "Senior citizens" get out. About an hour later when i left the restaurant, I noticed the truck was still idling... key in the ignition and doors unlocked. I had to run in and tell the old, oblivious man what he did. I just kept thinking to myself... "What if that engine had caught fire from idling for an hour?" "What if a 14-year-old went on a joyride in that 6000 pound truck?" So who are the "real" threats to public safety here?!?!:bloated:

DMC,
You remind me of something that happened in Washington a few years ago. Blonde, vivacious Mom leaves twin 4 year old boys in the Land Rover Discovery, running to boot, while she run inside a convenience store to get a pack of cigarettes.
Boys unbuckle themselves, put the thing in reverse somehow and it ends up parked ontop of a bus-stop bench. Thankfully no-one was killed.
I saw that on the news one night. Really humbling thought...maybe street racers aren't the problem; it's the everyday average Joe that's the problem...
:eek:

The best thing in that article next to it being very positive about the tuner seen, was the reference to FLETCH! One of the greatest movies of all time!:licker:
